This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== Information ======

  * Jagex Launcher ((https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/launcher))
  * RuneScape ((http://runescape.com)) (for Old School RuneScape/OSRS, see [[games:wine:old_school_runescape_jagex_launcher_c|these notes instead]])
  * NXT Client

  * This allows running the Jagex Launcher with Wine, and the NXT RS3 client natively
  * Jagex Launcher can be closed after pressing ''Play'' and the RuneScape client window appears ((the log-in session carries over through world switches and even log-outs; Jagex Launcher only needs re-opened if you close the RS client window))

===== Prerequisites =====

  * [[distros:fedora_workstation_gnome|Fedora Workstation]]
  * [[notes:wine|Wine]]

===== Notes =====

  * Once installed, be sure the game cache is fully-downloaded, and ideally toggle Options -> Textures between ''Compressed'' and ''Uncompressed'' for both caches ((2024/03/24: ''RuneScape'' folder is 10.9 GB))

====== Disable Legacy GNOME Tray ======

  * :!: Jagex Launcher sometimes has issues with being interacted with from GNOME tray with the AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support for GNOME Shell extension ((this automatically installs on Fedora through Steam as a dep, and is included out-the-box with Ubuntu 23.10))
  * Can be an issue on other desktop environments ((2023/12: Xfce on openSUSE TW seemed fine))

  gnome-extensions disable 'ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com'

====== Dependencies ======

****

  sudo dnf install 'openssl1.1.x86_64' && sync

====== Install ======

===== Initial =====

****

  mkdir -p ~/'.wine' && WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/RuneScape' WINEARCH='win64' wineboot && sync

===== Jagex Launcher =====

  * :!: You'll need to supply ''Jagex Launcher'' files as the installer doesn't work ((install Jagex Launcher on a Windows machine first, and then the ''Jagex Launcher'' folder in ''Program Files'' can be copied over as-is to the Wine prefix; you don't need to log-in but ideally run it once after installation for it to update to the latest version))
  * See [[notes:jagex_launcher_installer_wine|Jagex Launcher Installer]] notes for installer testing

==== Google Drive ====

  * [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/16vg7pOEbIwRjeMCo-fAveVO_YmPCs247/view?usp=sharing|Google Drive]] link to a clean ''Jagex Launcher'' folder with SHA256
  * Use this if at all unsure

  gio open ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files'

==== Manual ====

  * Expects something like ''~/Downloads/20230920-Jagex-Launcher.zip'' with any date
  * The top-level of the archive should be the ''Jagex Launcher'' folder ((should have file contents like ''20240206-Jagex-Launcher.zip/Jagex Launcher/JagexLauncher.exe''))

===== RuneScape =====

==== Jagex Launcher ====

  * Update launcher if prompted, log-in, select RuneScape -> Install
  * Fully-exit Jagex Launcher after installation

  mkdir -p ~/'.wine/RuneScape/dxvk_shader_cache' && cd ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher' && MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR=~/'.wine/RuneScape' DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH=~/'.wine/RuneScape/dxvk_shader_cache' WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/RuneScape' wine ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher/JagexLauncher.exe' --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

==== RuneScape ====

  * [[games:runescape_native#version_check|Version-check]] occasionally, as this currently expects ''runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb''
  * Last tested: 2024/04/03 on Fedora 39
